Arginine Question.

Hey all. So I'm wondering if I need to start taking my arginine pills again. I stopped cuz they gave me headaches I think. But my whey protein has about 500mg arginine per scoop and I do 5 scoops a day. Also I eat almonds with dinner and those are high in arginine. Think I'm getting enough arginine with my food?
 
Hey bro, as a fitness nut I have encountered plenty of Arginine dosing discussions in the past. Most guys who are looking at adding Arginine as a workout supplement or to enhance sexual performance are looking at taking 4,000 to 6,000 mg per day. Sounds like you are getting probably about 3,000-3,500. I don't think you are low on it in your diet, but if you are looking for a performance boost from this you may need to up your dose slightly.

Here is a link for different dosing levels for different therapies from Mayo Clinic:

Hope that helps bro. Good luck!
